Investigation Summary
At approximately 10:15 a.m. on January 26, 1998, Employee #1 was preparing to install anchor bolts, and loaded one into a Ramset gun after inserting the cartridge. He was pushing on the anchor bolt with his left hand when the powder-actuated gun fired. The anchor bolt penetrated his left palm and came out the top of his hand. Employee #1 was transported to the hospital, where he was treated for a puncture wound and released the same day.
